Reflections on Autumn

By Ardijana, Rm 208.

In the autumn, the days get shorter. It gets dark outside earlier. You can harvest grapes and apples. You can also pick blackberries and good mushrooms. Some mushrooms are poisonous. Seeds from trees fall to the ground. Some seeds spin like a helicopter when they fall. Leaves change from green to orange, yellow, red and brown. Evergreen trees do not change colour. They always stay green. When we walk outside we can look for fruits and berries. Birds like to eat the berries. Birds fly south where it is warmer. They stay for the whole winter. They will come back in the spring.

Our Walk in the Meadow

Journal entries from our very first walk in September:

By Abou, Rm 102
We went on a walk in the meadow. I caught a green grasshopper. I saw a red and black caterpillar. It was big and furry. There was a praying mantis on a log. It was a cold day. I saw lots of insects.


By Shanelle, Rm 102
We went on a walk in the meadow. I saw many nice things on our walk. It was sunny and warm. My favourite part was seeing a praying mantis. We saw insects, flowers, trees and tall grass.



By Tiyalize, Rm 209
We went on a walk in the meadow. I saw two crikets. I also saw a pink flower and a purple flower. I learned not to pick things in nature. It’s bad when you’re taking it from its habitat.




By Zack, Rm 209
We went on a walk in the meadow. I saw a grasshopper. It jumped on my leg. I put my hand over it and it jumped away.

By Megan, Rm 209
we went on a walk in the meadow. I saw a grasshopper it was on the grass. it blended in with the grass. At first i didn't notice it but then I saw it moving on the grass. It was a big grasshopper and it scared me.
